Thanks for your reply. I was actually able to use UFF with an edit pattern successfully.

One way I did it was using FINDREP= with STARTPOS and ENDPOS to change space to zero. You can make multiple passes on the output record with multiple IFTHEN=(WHEN=INIT statements - BUILD first then FINDREP or other manipulation after the build. If you have a more recent version that supports the UFF format, use OVERLAY and that format to reprocess the field and apply an EDIT= mask to result. You might be able to do it directly in the BUILD instead of using JFY.
